SMOKING-PIPE HOLDER.

Application filed June 1, 1926. Serial No. 112,948.

This invention relates toholders for smoking pipes and has tor ltsprimary ob ect to provide an article of this character that is extremelysimple of construction and inex pensive of manufacture and one that maybe applied to the pipe for associationtherewith during the smoking oithe same in order to permit he pipe to be placed upon a table, desk, orother support without any liability of the burning of the support, orthe spilling of the contents of the bowl, which is usually the case whenlaying pipes directly upon av table or other support.

An additional object of the invention is to provide a holder that isconstructed {or application to various sizes and shapespf pipes, and onethat may be readily applied to or removed from the pipe.

Other objects will become apparent as the nature of the invention isbetter understood,

the same 'coi'nprising the novel form of pipe holder hereinafter moretally described, shown in the tLGCOlBPtIDyHIg drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate correspondingparts throughout the various views:

Figure l is a side elevation of a conven tional "form of pipe supportedin such a manner to prevent the spilling of the contents of the bowl andin spaced relation with the support through the use of the presentinvention, the same being shown as actually associated with the pipe.

Figure 2 is a perspective of the holder, the particular pipe which is ofslightly different form as that shown in Figure 1, being disclosed indotted lines, and

Figure 3 is the blank from which the holder is shaped.

Now having particular reference to the drawing, my novel pipe holderconstitutes the provision of a sheet metal blank that consists of acircular disc 5 of predetermined area that is formed at its edge and atdiametrically opposed points with extension tongues 6 and 7 of varyingpredetermined length, said tongues being formed at their outer ends withright angular cross strips 6 and 7 respectively, the strip of the longertongue being of greater length than the strip of the shorter tongue asmore clearly disclosed in Figure 3.

In actual use when it'is desired to associate the holder with the typeof pipe dis closed in Figure 1 and designated A which type of pipe isprovided with a straight stem, the short tongue 7' of the disc 5 is bentdiagonally upwardly to the desired degree, while the long tongue (Siscurved in an up ward direction somewhat conforming to the curvature ofthe bottom and outer side of the pipe bowl. The ends of the strips 6 and7 are then bent around the bowl and stem respectively "for maintainingthe pipe in slight spaced position with respect to the disc 5. The disc5 then ati'ords a supporting plate for rest upon the table, desk, orother place upon which it is desired to lay the same.

In the form of the invention disclosed in Figure 2 the pipe A disclosedin dotted lines is of the conventional curved stem pipe and in thisinstance the tongues 6 and 7 and their corresponding cross strips 6 and7 are so bent as to maintain the pipe in position above the central disc5 and attached thereto.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel, simple, andeiiicient form of pipe holder that is well adapted for all the purposesheretofore designated, and even though I have herein shown and describedthe same as being constructed from a single predetermined shaped blankit is nevertheless to be understood that minor departures may be hadtherefrom without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. As a new article of manufacture, a pipeholder comprising a base, tongues extending upwardly from the base atdiametrically op posite points, and means associated with the free endsof the tongues for engagement with the bowl and stem respectively of thepipe for supporting the same above the base.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a pipe holder comprising a base,tongues extending upwardly from the base at diametrically oppositspoints, and means associated with the tree ends of the tongues forengagement with the bowl and stem respectively of the pipe forsupporting the same above the base, said last mentioned means comprisingcurved clamping jaws disposed at right, angles to therespective tongues.

Bil

3. As a new article of manufacture, a pipe holder comprising a sheetmetal disc, tongues extending upwardly from said disc at diametricallyopposite points, one of said tongues being of greater length than theother, and jaw forming strips carried by the outer ends of said tonguesand disposed at right angles thereto, the strip carried by the longertongues being of greater length than the other strips, said jaws adaptedto engage 10 the bowl and stem of the pipe respectivei'y for supportingthe same above the disc.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

BENJAMIN F. MALLORY.
